BOOK A WILD VOICES FOR KIDS PROGRAM!
Due to recent CBEEN program funding changes, we will now offer price options for Wild Voices for Kids programs.
Please select the price option that suits your needs, knowing that some schools don’t have access to the financial resources that others do.
We ask that teachers ensure that a program does not violate their school and/or district policies before booking. It is the responsibility of the teacher to confirm program suitability and communicate needs and questions to the Community Educator.
We continue to have a COVID-19 policy in place and teachers booking programs are expected to read this plan in advance of their program to understand our policies and practices around offering programs.
Questions about the policy may be directed to the Wild Voices Program Manager at wildvoices@cbeen.org

About the Program
Part of the seasonal changes in our river valleys is the migration of the land-locked Kokanee Salmon. This migration is important to the survival of mammals, other fish, birds and the riparian zone.
Using an interactive story with props, a short skit and songs in the classroom, children learn the basics of the Kokanee Salmon Migration Story. This is followed by a trip to watch the spawning of the salmon up close and is finished by some games that reinforce the hazards of the migration.
